dr. Pangloss - read the series and saw the original french movie - it gets darker but the author doesn’t focus on the darkness. There’s something kickass and move through it rather than lets pick the belly button… not sure if this makes any sense at all…

I think the original movie was in Swedish.
It does get dark. Good book and movie though. I want to see the remake.

Have you read, “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber”? I realize it’s Hemingway, not Maugham but it sounds as though you might appreciate, if not like it.
